I am moving to DR with my friend in feb 2005. We are coming in on a tourist card and are going to do our residency with a lawyer when we get there. When entering the company we plan to pay AA to bring extra luggage (3pc's each)
Our plane ticket also has a return date 6 months from now. I have been to DR several times, but 6 weeks was my longest stay. I dont recall them looking at anything any time that I have visited but I know they have a new government and am just wondering:
1. Does anyone recall if when coming through cutoms in DR if they look at the return date on your ticket in conjuction with you being on a tourist card?
2. If we had 6 large pieces of luggage between the two of us does anyone think we would be pulled over and maybe they would want to go through it?
3. Has anyone here been searched coming into the country?
Just wondering because I plan on jamming as much as possible into this luggage hehehe and it would be crappy to have to open it all
Any experiences or knowledge on my questions please let me know
Thanks
